Waiting for Localhost forever in IIS7 , Windows 2008 R2 (OpenDocMan)
I am trying to install an open source package called opendocman (www.opendocman.com) on IIS7. I installed http://php.iis.net/ to allow running a php application on IIS7. I went through all of the steps to load everything as per the documentation that came with OpenDocMan as follows :
1. Untar/Unzip files into any dir in your webserver documents dir
2. Create a MySQL database/username/password
3. Make a directory for the files to be stored that is accessible
to the web server but not available by browsing. Ensure the
permissions are correct on this folder to allow for the web
server to write to it
ex. $>mkdir /usr/local/opendocman/data
4. Copy the config-sample.php to config.php
5. Edit the config.php to include your database parameters
6. Edit the database.sql file. You need to change the values set in the odm_settings table, specifically for these two entries:
dataDir
base_url
Change those to reflect the correct locations.
7. Import your database.sql file into your database
8. Visit the URL for your installation and login as admin (no password)
THE PROBLEM
Now that all the steps are completed, when I try to load the page, it hangs on loading "Waiting for localhost".
What could be the issue here?

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
